Here's some examples of dates:
Opium - 3400 BC
Marijuana - 2700 BC
Heroin - 1874 AD
Cocaine - 1855 AD
Methamphetamine - 1893 AD
LSD - 1938 AD
And very few will argue that these drugs haven't had a destructive effect on societies (how destructive is open to debate). But there still stands one drug that over the centuries has remained the undisputed supreme leader in it's ability to wreak havoc on societies and leave a path of destruction and misery in it's wake, to which none of the other drugs available today can even come close. . . Alcohol.
Consider that the next time you're sitting around the bar.

This on war on drugs does more damage then the drugs themselves do. If someone realy wants to fry their brain do you realy think that a law is going to stop them? If you do then your a fool. And ditto what EnviroCon said.

instead of just having fried on drugs poeple around, now we have the violence to go along with it. like prohibition. it did not work.
our society and laws are not strict nor harsh enough to deal with drug law offenders like some other countries, but yet are not liberal enough to put a stop to a lot of drug related violence that comes as a result of pushing the whole trade underground.
i would like to know what billions of dollars spent on this so called war on drugs has really accomplished? besides employing people and giving the government excuses to search and seize things and invade your privacy.
people are going to do it, whether they steal prescript meds, huff paint, or in my town, since alcohol is so hard for teens to get, the just go to the neighborhood meth dealer and get some of that.

no kidding, i learned more about drugs from dare than anything else before my law enforcement academy training.
i use to have an old dare handout book, in it it describes all kinds of things, pipes, methods of distribution, how it gets hid, what it does, effects, side effects, everything. its like an intro to drugs class.

I have a 13 year old daughter and all this stuff is a constant worry.I was no angel but from what I understand the drugs out there today are far more potent than what was around in the 70's.The best thing I have to show her where drugs can lead is also very sad.I have a friend who lost his wife to cancer a few years ago and he went off the deep end.Heroin, crack and god knows what else. He can't walk down the street without having to hide everytime he spots a cop. He'll never have a driver's license again.My daughter has seen this guy disintegrate over dope.I'm praying the message is sinking in.
